A late London, England, despatch thus describes the visit of the African Pigmies'to the world's metropolis: i-"-We must jgo back," said .Bokani, chief of the Pigmies now being exhibited lit the Hippodrome through Mr. Hoffman, the interpreter.""' "Yes, we must go back to find our- people. For five months or ten years. But we. will come back. I like London." ' .^ "We can always1 walk back to'Lon- don," said quite simply Gpospi. ithe; twenty-five-year-old belle. Others of the little men and women seemed in- different.-' ��� Like most natives ofa low type,they, are yet bewildered by the constant Aeon tact,-with civilization'. ���They live for the moment and the only facts of-,life are tbe eating and drinking and*'sleeping. . The rest is "uot understood. l In a few days the six,pigmies will te .tj-iken to Belgium to' be se n byKing Leopold, "and then the question of thc "duration of their stuy'in Europe will be settled. Col. Hai rison's contract with the Hippodrome management has expired and it is only a question i f t me before he must' return his' dusky c'mfges to the heart of Africa. Col. Harrison, before he was gran ted permission to bring the Pigmies away from the Ituri forest, Cmtral Africa, i . i entered into an agreement to take - them back to their own country.' Al- -_ though the time limit has not been fixed'the govern men I of the Congo , Free State has a vojee in tho mailer "and if these 'new conditions of life are found to be at all injuiious lo the.--c little folks it is understood that they mu��t,nt once leave not only Oieat Bii- ta**n* but Europe jis well. A's far as their health is concerned the Pigmies appear to have benefitted greatly by their stay in London.

The ���'������ Pigmy doos not know alcohol, it is not tain pet-ate however, where lime juieeis the fluid at stake. ? The Pigmy seldom seem* astonished for long. He seems to think that he ,��' ought to do anytliiiig lhat tlie white man docs: The electric light certainly did 'puzzle the little fellows and they ..wanted to see: how it wns made., Now every oqe.of the six little Africans gets a good deal of amusement when- eVer they can by switching of tiie night..- :- 7 a y "i /'- \A -.

"Would you like to take her away and marry her?" asked the interpreter. "Yes, that one, that one," he rap- turously replied. Then for sheer joy he danced, keeping time^to a banjo solo that was issuing froj|fl|i monster gramophone. j, ��^ Armed to the4 teeth with bows and arrows and spears, dressed'vin.* their most gorgeous clothes, and decorated with beads, bracelets, earrings, nose rings, 'anklets; etcii the diiiiinutivie warriors crossed London from the Hippodrome to. the offices of the. .Gramo- phone Company in a four-wheeled cab.. At each'window stood an armed man ready to guard against a surprise attack. The two women of the party sat silent, only-speaking when spoken to, and carrying the drums and other impediments of their lords. The object of the'visit when the war- rior from the heart'of Africa .lost his heart to the fair-haired'-English girl was to procure suitable records of the voices of the Pigmies'. , Once inside the record taking chamber at the gramophone ol.lces.,the eyes of the .Pigmies opened in absuluti-Justonisliment. They could hrar a man whistling in the corner, but could not see liim. They were told tiiere was no man, but they were incredu'ou-. A council of war was held, and then, under the direction of the Chief Bokane, the warriors spread themselves across the room, and crouching forward, each with his spear iu his right hand slowly advanced. Every inch of the chamber was' carefully, explored, and. by means of. a sweeping movement the whistling gr.nnophone was encircled au'd examined. It was then taken tp pieces to satisfy them ; but they^remained incredulous ami mystified. Laughing songs delighted them, and they rolled upon the floor in glee as tlie laughter from the gramophone rose louder and louder aud higher and higher. '' Afterwards Bokane and Matuka stepped forward,"arid standing in front of the funnel projecting from tlie crab screeii.tiiey tang; their folk songs to tlie accompaniment 'of drum and slick MURPHY HEARS THE BAND "The King May Well Be * Proud av Thim G-yards."

"I heard thini acrost the grounds at the Fair, and I don't &.-.11 that a hearin'."- "The band nivir get9 a fair show at the Exhibition," continued Murphy, quite heedless of the atrocious nun he was perpetrating, "but I tell ye, Din- nis, that ye missed the;best music that ivir ca��iie over the say when ye didn't go and pay yer ,<juar-rter last week and have'vfan av thim iiligant sates provided by Massey Hall fer the des.irvin' poor that wants good music.

It was trying, heart-breaking work on the river from daylight until dark, and the first symptoms of homesickness was taking possession of those of us who had hitherto known only the exigencies of life in a sheltered home in far-off Canada. The postal service of the expedition had not yet been regulated, and the vagrant Canadian voyageurs, ' continually passing .ipand down the river, ordered to different i ataracts arid stationed at rapids that on account of the rapidly rising river arose in a night, were practically cut off from communication with tlieir friends in Canada.

TRIBUNE The death occurred at Victoria last Tuesdo- of Mr. William Alfred Elliott at the ripe old age of 78 years. The late Mr. Elliott left England, of which country he was a native, in September 1858, iu the capacity of second engineer of the Hudson Bay Company's steamer Labouchere. It will be remembered, by old-timers that the Labouchere was lost on her first voyage from San Francisco to Victoria in 18C6. Joseph Martin has uot lost his power of attracting attention to'hlmself." His recent speech at,Win'nipeg, in which he advocated the formation of a third party, has started the old politicians thinking, and every paper iu Canada is discussing thc project seriously. Tlie result is that Joseph Martin is the most talked of man iu Canada today. This idea of a third paityis not a new one with Mr. Martin. His friends have known for some time that he had broken away from the Liberal parly, notwithstanding the fact that during the visit of Sir Wilfrid Laurier to Vancouver two years ago, Joseph walked arm in arm with his old leader around Stanley Park. The question the leaders of .the oldi parties are asking. themselves now is, will this new party proposal take root ? If it does, wl at then? The Provincial Government will be represented at this year's exhibition of Colonial frutt' under the auspices of the Royal Horticultural Society of Londju, Eng./ The Government lias decided to go a step farther and send n large commercial shipment of fruits', not only to be used for exhibition purposes, but to be distributed to various points and sold.

To say that the few remaining readers of the Tribune were shocked last Thursday evening when they took up that paper is putting it very mildly, indeed. The vilest expression of the streets was fully suggested iu an item that appeared ou the editorial page. . It is perhaps the first time tbat any paper in Canada has so far disgraced itself as did the Tribune on Thursdays- evening, and certainly the matter should be b o lght to the attention of the authorities. It is difficult enough" to preserve the purity of the family circle, without the task being made so much more so by having thrust before the youth of the city a paper that is even more, depraved in its tone than the prohibited Police Gazette. The editorial in the Tribune last evening, in which au attempt is made to hold the Daily News responsible for a dispatch sent to an outside newspaper by one of its staff, will create no end of amusement among newspaper workers everywhere. If the "editor" of the Tribune had any experience in the newspaper business he would know that the manager of a newspaper ha-* no control over his staff only so far as .relates to work on his'own paper. It may be that the dispatch was sent out ��� by one of the Daily News employees, but that is uo concern of the editor of that paper. The "pathetic" attempt of the Tribune "editor" to connect the News with the dispatch" referred to once more illustrates the ridiculous' positional! amateur places himself in when he assumes the duties of editing a newspaper. The Tribune editor's defense of John Houston does not de ceive anyone, and will not accomplish tlie object ior which it was which it was written. Nor will anyone be deceived by the cheap boast of the amateur editor. Under John Houston's management the Tribune struck hard, out the wounds were soon healed and forgotten.; controlled as it is now, it _����� lacking in every quality that goes to make up a respectable newspaper. Once it could claim a growing advertising patronage uud a"fair street_sale~ Now the advertisements are padded, aud its circulation is confined to the gutters. If there is any doubt as to the hitler statement.it can be easily settled hy .. walk along Vernon street from Hall street to the Postoffice, where hundreds of Tribunes have been thrown into the mudholes. If the time ever comes when the friends of John Houston need someone fo defend their old time leader, they will exercise discretion in making their selection. Tliey will not select a man who would slobber over him iu public print and knock him in private. They will not be deceived by the humility of men of the Uriah Keep Stamp. John Houston had his faults, but they will be forgiven. Not so, however with the trespasses of the man who now seeks to make capital by damming his indulgent master with faint praise. A harvest thanksgiving service will be held in St. Saviour's Church some evening next week. A yonng woman of Kaslo has written The Economist iu praise of the decorations in the exhibition building for the Fair. She says it was not the- least attractive feature of the great event. The decoratiou work was under the supervision of John A. Irving,, who gave it his attention for two days,, and it is gratifying to note that it was- admired so much by every visilor tothe building. ���If j^^u^-O^C- *r*tr__ m WA' mi- I t f _ *;i i #! 111 5II..S- '11 ,*. a 'il ill III:- |y.!-J-' ill :'* ' .����? -,i.

Tragedies of the Arctic. '.. ��� ^m��������������� <���*"""** N extraordinary coincidence ha�� f_| been developed by a r?cent ArctU Jl tragedy brought about by th�� expedition of tlw Duke of th4 -Abruzzl. v V.'hen this navigator went on his Journey to the North Pole he took wltli him among- others Lieutenant Querlnl, a Venetian gentleman of an old and noble family. His work over, the Duke returned, but the lieutenant was not with him, for he had lost his lift through an accident lh the Arctic regions. Now, at the very time when this accident occurred a professor In the tech' nlcal school In Trieste, while rummaging ln the archives of that city, dU- "*cbvered"a-manuscrlptH-bearing-=the--dat��^ 1601, and containing an account of a Journey made by one Pietro Querlnl, ln 1431, to the Arctic regions. Querlnl ia not a common name, and a little Investigation showed that Pietro Querlnl ���was a direct ancestor of the other Pietro Querlnl who lost his life ln the Arctic seas a few months ago. "Querlnl," says the old-manuscript, "sailed from Candla for Flanders on board a vessel loaded with merchandise and precious stones. "When he arrived ln Flanders, he,sold his cargo and started for the Arctic'regions. A storm forced him to abandon liis ship and to take refuge with.his crew ln two barks. The wind then carried them to the coast of Norway, but on January 9, 1432, Querlnl was again shipwrecked near the Lofoden Islands ln seventy degrees north latitude, and almost all his -companions were drowned." For some time It was supposed that he, too, had been drowned, but ln January, 1-133, he appeared In Venice with "ten companions/the only survivors of his original crew of seventy-eight men. It seems that he succeeded'In gaining the shore atter the others had been drowned, and then slowly made hia way home through Denmark and Germany. .." "Althougrh these two Pietro Quer- lnls," says a French writer, "are separated from each other by Ave centuries, we find the same destiny at work in the case of each." Aiid he continues, with a dash of playfulness: "Is it not possible that the adventurer of the fifteenth century, desiring to enjoy once more the exciting, flays of,his youth, actually became Incarnated as a hero of the twentieth c-iij-fury?" . ' .,��� Is an'Instance which Elr. Hut'chirisoi. relates: "A certain lady dreamed frequently of a certain house until It ha-d become*-, exceedingly familiar to her; she knew- a-U Its, rooms,-its-furniture; it Was at wall known to her as that in which she lived her waking life, and, like a good wife that has no secrets from her husband, she often talked over ah the details with him, a very pleasant fancy. One day they (husband-and wife) went Into the country to see a house that .'hey thought of taking for the sumn.e: months. They had not seen It, but the account In the house-agent's list had attracted them. "When they arrived before It, they gave a simultaneous exclamation of surprise. 'Why,' said the husband, 'it is your dream-house!" It was. The coincidence attracted them. ^rtaeywt-ok^Uie^house.^^^^^^^_^_._______________ "In the course of their occupancy' they learned that the house had the reputation of being haunted; that several people before them had taken it tor short terms, but had seen���or fancied they had >\een���'Bomethlng,' and had left before their term of tenancy expired. H-ad these new tenants not brought their own old servants with them It Is likely they would have had Borne difficulty in whipping up a do- jnestic staff, so uncanny was the reputation of their apparently quite re- i putable house. The new tenants dwelt Jin the house with all satisfaction and ' puace through the summer months, un- I til their term of. tenancy came to an end. On leaving, husband and wife ex- j pressed their satisfaction to the local | agent. 'The only thing,',' said the wife, ' 'that we were disappointed in about ] tha house la that we never saw the ghost.' ; " 'Oh, no,* said the,ghost agent. *We kuew you would not see the ghost.' " 'What do you mean ?' asked the wife, rather nettled.

Then the father stoppt-d smiling and aaid with ^great gravity: "I beg your pardon, madam, but ladies are not allowed in the monastery I must ask you to wait outside, until the Prince has finished his inspection."

ST seems hardly possible that a girl of sixteen Should save nearly fifty people f ro-m a terrible death. Yet that is what Grace Bnssell did, who max well be called the Grace Darling ol Australia. It happened one day in December that a vessel was Wrecked off the roast of Australia, a few miles from the Bassell home. The lifeboat on board the steamer was -lowered, but lt capsized and the eight -people in it were drowned. So the rest of the crew dune to the sinking steamer. The surf ran so wildly that no one could dare swim through It, and there was not a house or person In sight. The girl, who was a -splendid horsewoman, was riding Klong with a native servant. She caught sight of the vessel In distress; turning hev horse's head toward the coast, she .started him on a quick gallop. When she reached the sea she urged her horse Into the angry surl. She rode boldly on till she reached the vessel. With great difficulty she tooH .some of the children in her arms and put them before her on the saddle; then, with bigger children and women clinging to he. dress.'She'started for the shore, gave thoue she had rescued to the care of her servant; and returned again to the wreck.
